Updated Aug. 31: Potable water served by the Craven County Water System (NCPWS ID # 04-25-055) has been restored to the Carolina Pines Subdivision. Samples collected from the system have been analyzed by a State Certified Laboratory and found to be free of coliform bacteria. Based on these results and the continued presence of consistent pressure throughout the system.
Aug. 30, 2023: The water consumers of Craven County Water in the Carolina Pines Subdivision will experience periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to an emergency repair of a water main on Dare Drive. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system. Therefore, when water service is restored, consumers are advised to boil all water for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water. Vigorous boiling for one minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water. Water consumers are strongly urged to conserve water whenever possible. This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.
